Have Americans always been so fucking mental over this stuff or is it a recent trend? Was it like this when Clinton defeated Bush Snr? Some of them genuinely think it's the end of days for America because of this. They thought the same thing in 2008, too, yet despite Obama still not having turned the US in communist Russia circa 1955 like they predicted. Nutters.

They spent a fuck load more money this time than previous elections so it hurts hard.

Another depressing but fascinating story of the US sticking its oar in where it isn't needed, wanted or even remotely justified. I don't know if I'd call it a nugget of joy but thanks for posting it anyway.
